Abstract
In this paper, we show that the contractive definition considered by Proinov [Fixed point theorems in metric spaces, Nonlinear Analysis 64 (2006) 546 - 557] is strong enough to generate a fixed point but does not force the mapping to be continuous at the fixed point. Thus we provide several answers to the open question posed by B.E. Rhoades in Contractive definitions and continuity, Contemporary Mathematics 72(1988), 233-245.
